The Course content

We all dream of a calm and natural birth, and although nothing can promise that, hypnobirthing will help you to feel more relaxed throughout pregnancy - which is good for both you and your baby's health, and will support you during labour to help create a more relaxed birthing experience.

The Motherhood Hypnobirthing consists of four sessions, each lasting 2.5 hours with an optional free follow up session. It helps parents to relaxed during pregnancy and gives you the tools to help create a calm birth. It provides education about the physical changes that occur in the body at each stage of labour, how your mind can impact these changes and techniques that can be practised and used to enhance your labour journey. You will learn about the medical procedures you may come across and the options that are available to you so that you will be able to make decisions that are informed. Throughout the course hypnotherapy is used to help remove fear, aid relaxation and build confidence. You will also be given hypnotherapy tracks to listen to and practice with at home.
